POV Outsider because someone needs to be the straight man here.

The fire alarms were blaring. Why were the fire alarms blaring? Isaac stumbled awkwardly out of his room, smelling smoke but feeling no heat. The old woman who had run the reception desk when he checked in earlier tonight was marching towards a door near his. Why wasn't anyone else coming out? Fire alarms, people! Isaac could smell the smoke! Granma Receptionist banged her old-lady-bird-bone hands against a door across from his, and it was quickly opened by a sheepish looking teen."Tyler did it?" Bedraggled Teen A mumbled bashfully. Behind him, Isaac could see three other figures, also probably teenagers, back-lit by an actual wall of flames, what the fuck? One of them was just staring, mesmerized, by the definitely-going-to-kill-you-fuck-off big gas fire. A second was kind of shuffling back and forth like they had ants under their skin. Isaac could just now make out a stream of extinguisher foam being sprayed from somewhere beyond the doorframe. The third was... cackling. Like, head-tossed-back, gut-deep, Doctor-Doom evil cackling. Oh, right, the conversation. "-irteenth ti- -s week!" The roar of the fire and hiss of foam being sprayed kind of stopped him from hearing the whole thing, but it was more than enough. Isaac made an about face, grabbed his still-unpacked bag and keys, then walked right on out of the motel. Not coming back here.

Was the one cackling evilly Cal Leroy or Tyler? I can't tell who it is because all of them would be hilarious as fuck. XD

Tyler. Cal's the antsy one. Leroy is the one divining the nature of the universe within the hellfire born of contradictions.

Cal is struggling to decide between throwing more fuel into the pretty-hot-flickering light to make it even prettier, or helping the off-screen Ethan-&-Axel put out the highly dangerous inferno. Adding fuel is winning so far.

Also, yes, they're now Eth-an-Ax. The only genuinely more-than-75%-nice teens in the group.

What about Aries? Where's he? Cause I can guarantee that he was involved somehow with the fire. XD

Well, funny thing is, the Anamosa Fire Department discovered an experimental fireproof full-bodysuit was missing that morning. Isaac couldn't see it, but in the center of that blaze sits a very giddy Ariethous.
